Tuned to Marine Band:
Each antenna is tuned to the VHF Marine Band centered at
157 MHz.

DC Grounded:
A metal ground plane is not needed with this design.

Enclosed Elements:The
actual antenna elements and feed point are sealed inside
a UV resistant plastic radome. No need to worry about corrosion
on the elements with this design.

Weather Resistant:Having
the elements and feed point sealed in the radome allows
the antenna to be very resistant to weather and other environmental
damage. This antenna is strong enough to withstand an ice
storm, and will also do well in a shoreline environment.

Copper Elements: Elements
are copper clad, which is a better element material than
stainless steel.

Narrow Bandwidth: The
bandwidth for the antenna is fairly narrow, which can help
to eliminate intermod problems from adjacent strong signals
in urban areas.

High Quality N Connector:Instead of the usual UHF connector that's included with
most antennas, this antenna includes a 50 ohm female N connector,
on the end of a small cable pigtail. N connectors are more
water resistant and handle high frequencies better. Need help

FAQ

Includes Mounting Hardware: Price includes mounting clamps to allow attaching the
antenna to any standard 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" mounting mast.

TESTIMONIALS

"I was pleased to see how well the AIS Marine vertical antenna worked for me. I have it at about 70' ASL and have recorded reception distances exceeding 200 nautical miles. This is with a 60' length of RG-8X, which I plan to upgrade soon to a better cable."

FEATURES

Unique Design:
This antenna is designed for anyone who's interested in getting
good performance on their scanner or radio, but isn't able to
use an outdoor antenna. This is a great antenna for people who
live in apartments or condos. The Blade can also be used as
a travel antenna, or even outdoors for short periods of time.

Tuned to Marine Band: Each
antenna is tuned to the VHF Marine Band centered at 157 MHz.

Easy to Position: The beauty
of the way this antenna works, is the fact that you can position
it anywhere. Unlike using a rubber duck, you can find the one
good spot in the room that gets the best reception, but still
put the radio anywhere you like. This can also be helpful if
you're trying to move the antenna away from RF producing devices.
There's also no ground plane elements sticking out to poke you.
The antenna can easily be hung using the two loops on the back.

Unobtrusive:
The Blade design is very slim and stealthy. The antenna is only
1 1/4" wide and a mere 3/8" deep. It can easily be
hidden behind blinds, but is also attractive enough to be displayed
in clear view. The antenna's bright white enclosure blends right
into the surroundings.

Copper Elements: Elements
are copper clad, which is a better element material than stainless
steel.

Narrow Bandwidth: The bandwidth
for the antenna is fairly narrow, which can help to eliminate
intermod problems from adjacent strong signals in urban areas.

18' of RG8/X Cable: This
cable is better for longer lengths than the average off brand
RG58 cable included with most antennas (if any), and helps prevent
signal loss.

Direct Feed Point Connection:
The coax is directly connected to the antenna elements, which
means there's one less connector between your radio and the
antenna. Each additional connector can create signal loss.

Enclosed Elements:The
actual antenna elements and feed point are sealed inside
a UV resistant plastic radome. No need to worry about corrosion
on the elements with this design.

Weather Resistant:Having
the elements and feed point sealed in the radome allows
the antenna to be very resistant to weather and other environmental
damage. This antenna is strong enough to withstand an ice
storm, and will also do well in a shoreline environment.

FEATURES

Flexible Design:
Unlike Yagi designs, the LP design has more useful lobes to
the sides and back. This gives the antenna a better 360 degree
omni ability, with the added benefit of gain in the direction
it's aimed. Why use a unity gain discone or ground plane, when
you can have omni ability and directional gain as well with
the LP.

Wide Bandwidth:
The nature of the LP design offers a wide bandwidth. Not only
is it wide in the band it was designed to operate in, but it
also does pretty well in nearby bands. This will help if there's
other bands you're interested in. The AIS LP can also receive
in the Marine Voice band.

Solid Construction:
The antenna is constructed of twin 3/4" square aluminum
tube for the booms, and solid 1/4" aluminum round is used
for the elements. The boom is very stiff, as are the elements.
1/4" stainless bolts and lock nuts are utilized, not flimsy
dimple rivets. The entire antenna is carefully hand crafted
and all aluminum is given a brushed finish.

Weather Resistant:
All fasteners are stainless steel and UV resistant cable clips
are used to hold the coax to the boom.

High Quality N Connector:Instead of the usual UHF connector that's included with
most antennas, this antenna includes a 50 ohm female N connector.
N connectors are more water resistant and handle high frequencies
better. Need help choosing your main cable? Checkout the Coax

Horizontal Mount:
A horizontal mast piece consisting of aluminum plate is included
with the antenna. This acts as a stand-off and allows the the
antenna to be positioned away from your mast in free space and
vertical polarization.

Electrically Isolated:
The antenna is electrically isolated from the horizontal and
verticals masts.

Mounting Hardware:
The necessary hardware for attaching the antenna to any standard
1 1/4" to 1 1/2" steel mast is also included. Just prepare your mast
and you're all set to go.

Only Partial Assembly
Required: The boom is completely assembled,
along with the feeder cable and mount. The only things that
need to be done yourself are attaching the elements, and putting
up a mast.
